Re: Octave-8.4.0 not working properly (II)

[Markus Mützel]

You are trying to build a native Windows binary while including a Cygwin 
header. That won't work.
See, e.g., this thread for build instructions of the Pythonic package:
https://octave.discourse.group/t/problem-in-installing-pythonic-in-octave-6-1-0/902

It is for an older version of Octave and Pythonic. But the principle steps are 
still the same.

Hi again,
 
On attempting to install the package Pythonic, I got the following
indecipherable error messages:
 

>> pkg -forge install pythonic

What might have happened? I'm running Octave as administrator because of
previous problems.
 
I'm running Windows Home 11.
 
Thanks
